The fact is, disabled people reacting with anything other than gratefulness & deference for being granted basic human dignity is often perceived as rudeness. And the power nondisabled people have over our lives to enforce that dynamic is extraordinary. No trains for me today.

In honor of Autism Awareness Month... Whether formally diagnosed or not... If you're autistic... Congrats!!! 🥳🥳🥳 We may not get much formal support... but we get support from each other, and that's huge if you ask me. Happy #AutismAwarenessMonth!!!

@NoNonsenseND It’s hilarious how neurotypical people get offended when we ask them for clarification. Don’t take it personally because you didn’t explain something to me properly like?
Word of the day is ‘foxy’ (19th century), used of weather that misleads you into thinking it’s extremely warm when in reality it’s pretty chilly.
@NoNonsenseND Nor is the "problem" the autism. The Problem is the general intolerance for Differences.🕊️
